Ethics: the importance of context working internationally
Ethics: the importance of context working internationally
Ethics: the importance of context working internationally
Programme
One of the thorny issues in PR has always been whether our society’s values translate to other parts of the world. What we consider unethical may well be normal in another country. Should we rethink our assumptions about our behaviours and business etiquette when faced with regimes very different from our own? How useful are our codes of conduct in other countries? Do some fundamental ethical values cross cultures?
We shall be discussing these and other global ethical questions at this event with a highly experienced panel of speakers.
